Capt. Arthur John Evans
British Army 10th Btn. South Wales Borderers
from:Cambrian House, Clydach Vale
(d.2nd July 1916)
Capt. Arthur John Evans of Cambrian House, Clydach Vale, son of James and Jane Evans died on the 2nd of July 1916. The unit had returned from the trenches and were resting. The captains and officers taking refuge together the house took a direct hit and he was killed instantly. His funeral and that of two others is described in great detail in the unit's war diary at Kew. It clearly shows the high regard with which he was held and the upset at his death is clearly evident! He is burried at Varannes in France. I am longing to find a picture of Arthur if anybody can help
